Updates

Lauren had her 18 month check-up & Ryan had his one week check up the first week in April. Lauren had a major growth spurt since her 12 month one. She is now 32" tall (54.2 percentile) & weighs 22.6 lbs (25.11 percentile). (She had been in the 4th percentile for weight & 20th for length.) That being said, she still looks pretty petite.

Ryan, at one week, was still losing weight-because he had been on an IV, he actually gained weight before he lost it- so he weighed 5.14. However, by the next week, when he went in for his 2 week check up, he weighed 6.7 (4th percentile). Not only had he gained his birth weight, but he also gained an additional 6 ounces! Anyway, he is also 20 1/4" long (31st percentile). In spite of his growth, he's still hanging out in preemie clothes. He goes in next week for his 1 month. WOW! That month went by fast!

Well, here's some pictures of the kids just hanging around the house, pre-flu (that story will come later, which will also explain why we don't have Easter pictures of the kids). Lauren's in her little "hoochie momma" outfit.

I was going to do pig tails, but I figured that might cross the Daisy line. ;)
